Scope and Contents

The 23 prints in this collection are accompanied by short poems about
the images. They reflect their creator’s interest in all aspects of life and
her deep sympathy for every kind of person, especially those who lacked in what
society deems the advantages needed for a good life. Young and old, happy and
sad, they are all equal in Edwards’ lens and all are heroes in their own ways.
